Hi everyone!
I have been diagnosed with these illnesses for a while now. I take duloxetine and sulfasalazine, occasional tramadol when flares get bad. I cannot work because of the bad pain, brain fogs and debilitating fatigue. I try to balance my life by pacing, rest and movement. That is usually enough, but the flares are getting worse again. Last bad flare lasted the whole summer, had to use a cane just for walking around the house. It looks like I am getting close to that point again.
I am desperate for any advice that helps you stop the flares, debilitating pain and exhaustion.
